I don't mean any disrespect to you west coast 6GC'ers out there, but the more I read about your George Orwellian regulations on that side of the country, the more I'm I sit here in disbelief. I mean, California brought us the-ever-memorable Surfin' USA, The acid soaked Hippie Movement - Tune in - Turn On - Drop Out, and every other laid-back, pot laced theme you could think of. Yet, you can't do anything with your car or they'll take it away? I was just reading this story online (with photos) of dudes who had their cars taken away and crushed by "the man". Needless to say, they were Toyotas and Hondas. Dudes who were doing, say, 20 over the speed limit and were deemed "street racers"... Dude, if that was happening near Detroit, you'd just hear assault rifles and see the National Guard coming in. It'd make the '67 riots look like a practice round. Every Hillbilly in the land would be taking to the streets like road warrior. With giant stickers that said "MODDED" plastered on their cars. As much as I'm a history buff, I'm clueless as to how this took root..and who allowed it to happen. It's so over-the-top, I can't even wrap my head around it. Somebody fill me in.

wow this happened a long time ago.
No they weren't just doing 20 over. This was a situation in where, these people were caught racing. Law is the law. IT IS ILLEGAL. If you want to play be prepared to play. Cops have been impounding and crushing cars since cars were invented. accept the consiquences of your actions. If you don't like the consiquences, don't break the law /idea |
